Our experience with Uncharted Waters was first-rate from start to finish. From early communication with Adam when I had questions before our trip to the fabulous sunset cruise hosted by Capt. Mike, Capt. Lauren, and Capt. Ryan, the experience was relaxing, educational, and just so comfortable—we felt like we were on a family boat ride. It meant so much to us that even though we didn't have a full house that day, they treated us like VIPs and still sailed on schedule. We loved the size of the boat and were so glad we selected Uncharted Waters over some of the bigger boats we saw around the harbor. Next time we're in Ft. Lauderdale we are definitely going to take another cruise with this crew!

Did the 2.5 HR Nature Park Boat Tour. Family of 4, one of who gets sea sick, 2 young kids. Absolutely fantastic. Large very stable catamaran with roof access for 360* panoramic views. Highly experienced crew of all certified captains, even the owner was onboard. The owner took us for a 1 hour walk through Anne Kolb Nature Center. These folks are very passionate about what they do and provide a relaxed but super professional 5⭐️ experience top to bottom.

Wonderful trip, we took the sunset cruise option and it was an amazing trip on the seas. Wonderful atmosphere, and the crew and captain were so nice and wonderful to talk with. Would recommend if you want a less crowded experience with a more casual vibe to simply relax.

We were in Fort Lauderdale for a Princess cruise and took the Holiday Light cruise and enjoyed it so much we booked a sunset cruise when we came back after Christmas. Captains were very informative on local interest points along the waterway. Super fun time for sure!
